New user roaiming profile.

Running NT Server 4.0 SP4 and Workstation 4.0 SP5. Created new user account by copying existing user, roaming profile path is specified. When the user logs onto the workstation it errors with profile cannot be created and the system bounces back to ctrl-alt-del to login. When I login as administrator the users profile folder has been created but nothing has been created below it. Looks like a permissions issue?

Possibly the Existing user had a mandatory profile? Check Control Panel, System Icon, User Profiles.What ever, go to User manger, and create a new profile for user2, go to Profile Button. Use the %username% variable e.g. \\server\profile(s)\%username% profile(s) is an existing folder THAT HAS BEEN SHARED.

Check your permissions on the workstation the user is trying to log on to. Start by deleting the users profile folder under C:\winnt\profiles Check the permissions, a good default here is Domain admins - full control domain users - add & ReadCreator\Owner - Full Controldon't replace permissions through the subdirectoriesNow when the user logs on it should create the folder with no problem. If you are still having issues try bumping domain users to change and make sure the user logging on is in that group.
